Arcing With Piper
Arcing With Piper: “John Piper has long recommended “arcing” as most fruitful exegetical tool. I discovered today that Piper’s booklet “Biblical Exegesis” – which is basically a description of the arching method – is available free online. Here is also a website that will help you draw arcs electronically. see also www.disciplemaking.net
Jerry Bridges: "God doesn’t just call us to freedom, he actually exhorts us to stand firm in our freedom."
Jerry Bridges: “God doesn’t just call us to freedom, he actually exhorts us to stand firm in our freedom.”: “ Here is a good quote from Jerry Bridges about our Freedom in Christ: “Paul’s call to stand firm in our freedom in Christ and not let ourselves be burdened by a yoke of slavery is just as valid today with our rules as it was in the Galatians’ day with the Mosaic law… God gave us our spiritual Magna Charta. Through Paul, He called us to be free: “You, my brothers, were called to be free.” In fact, God doesn’t

Thinking Biblically and Theologically about Eschatology
Dr. Wellum says we should see eschatology through the prism of Gospel, ethics, and Christology. He says When eschatology is presented in this way, not only is it true to the Scripture, it is also able to move us to action, obedience, worship, and service. Such eschatology will never leave us merely satisfied with this world, but it will orient us towards the future where the church will rightly learn to cry afresh with the church of all ages, “Come, Lord Jesus” (Rev 22:20).

Beginning with Moses – BT Articles – Is the Church a House of Worship?
Beginning with Moses – BT Articles – Is the Church a House of Worship? An interview with Don Carson, by Tony Payne TP: What does the Bible say about what we call ‘worship’? DC: In large terms, I do agree with David Peterson (in his book Engaging With God) and others who have argued that the move from worship under the Old Covenant to the New, is the move from the temple-centred cultus of sacrifice and designated priesthood and high feasts and holy times, to a stance where worship under the New Covenant is bound up with the limitless extent

Great Preaching Caught or Taught? | Soul Preaching Ministries
Great Preaching Caught or Taught? | Soul Preaching Ministries by Sherman Haywood Cox II on February 3, 2010 – 11:56 am When I was in my twenties and was attempting to learn to play Jazz, one writer said, “all the answers are in the music.” What the author was saying is that we often ask many questions that can only be found by listening to great musicians “play” the answer. One jazz teaching instructor said that he had a student who was having a hard time playing jazz. The instructor asked the student, “How much Jazz did you listen to last
Christ or a College Degree?
From Traibologue: Christ or a College Degree?: “ It is a sad day in the United States when a Christian is given the ultimatum to either ditch Christ or get kicked out of grad school. See the details of Jen Keeton’s story below. Augusta State Univ. to counseling student: change your beliefs or get out Keeton, 24, is pursuing her master’s degree in counseling at Augusta State. After her professors learned of her biblical beliefs, specifically her views on homosexual conduct, from both classroom discussions and private conversations with other students, the school imposed the re-education plan. Keeton never denigrated anyone
Article on God’s Impassibility
Article on God’s Impassibility:“I meant to mention the following article in The Theology Class the other night . In the article, the author clearly and accurately explains the extremes concerning the doctrine of God’s impassibility. May we understand not to ‘under throw’, or ‘over throw’ this important doctrine. We must remain Biblically balanced. Furthermore, as I mentioned in class, we must rely heavily upon Isaiah 55:8-9 and Romans 11:33-34. Here is the link. see also www.disciplemaking.net
Simplicity in Preaching
Simplicity in Preaching by J. C. Ryle King Solomon says, in the book of Ecclesiastes, “Of making many books there is no end” (12:12). There are few subjects about which that saying is more true than that of preaching. The volumes which have been written in order to show ministers how to preach are enough to make a small library. In sending forth one more little treatise, I only propose to touch one branch of the subject. I do not pretend to consider what should be the substance and matter of a sermon. I purposely leave alone such points as
